No matter how careful you are in doing your day-to-day tasks, there are instances where accidents that lead to injury may occur. Whether you’re an athlete doing intense training or a regular person who’s only trying to finish the day’s work, there is no guarantee that you are safe from any kind of injury. Since it can happen to almost anyone, medical specialists and healthcare professionals have come up with different ways on how to help patients recover from almost any kind of injury – functional rehabilitation is just one of them.
If you are not familiar with the term, functional rehabilitation is a part of traditional physical therapy. Unlike the usual physical therapy in Dubai, functional rehabilitation is meant to help athletes and individuals to return to pre-injury levels of activity.
These exercise and training programs incorporate agility and kinesthetic programs which allow athletes to recover and do their usual activities before they sustain their injury, as well as reduce the risk of recurring injuries.
Functional rehabilitation workouts may either be done at home or in a clinic under the supervision of a licensed therapist. Just like any other recovery and training program, an individual, especially someone who just recovered from an injury, must avoid strenuous activities as it may lead to another injury. If you are feeling any kind of discomfort after a workout or doing simple activities, it’s best to consult with a specialist as soon as possible.
What are the benefits of Functional Rehabilitation:
- Increases agility, balance, and coordination
Many professionals who specialize in providing sports physiotherapy Dubai are capable of teaching athletes and regular individuals on how to utilize their own weight to support their movement and perform different activities to improve their range of motion.
- Prevents injuries
Improving one’s balance and coordination can contribute a lot in preventing injury. Training your body to increase range of motion and strengthening your joints will enable you to perform high impact movements in future.
- Improves posture and reduces back pain
If you haven’t noticed, almost all exercises require maintaining a good posture. If this is also a problem for you, you may always ask your therapist about exercises that you can add to your functional rehabilitation regimen that will help improve your posture. By maintaining good and proper posture, you lower the risk of injury and suffering from back pain later.
